    Comment One of the first derivatives providers in the crypto-universe. Besides classic leveraged futures, option-like instruments are available for trading. An already dominant derivatives exchange. In addition to futures with various maturities on BTC, ETH and SOL, classic options contracts are also tradable. A relatively young supplier with innovative products. Various index futures or leveraged tokens on individual coins are available. Strong liquidity pool in the background and exchange own FTX token.

    Investments, especially in crypto currencies, are always associated with risk. Especially in leveraged instruments, a total loss of the capital invested cannot be ruled out. Crypto-currencies are very volatile and can therefore be exposed to extreme exchange rate fluctuations within a short period of time.
